81. Midlife Gut Health Secrets Series Part 3: What to Try When You’ve Tried Everything with Dr. Heather Finley
Welcome to Episode 81 of the Emotional Eats Podcast!
I sat down with Dr. Heather Finley, a registered dietitian and gut health expert with a doctorate in clinical nutrition. This is part three of our gut health series where we discuss what happens when you feel like you’ve "tried everything" and nothing works to relieve gut issues like constipation in midlife.
Restricting and Eliminating Foods Doesn’t Always Work
Dr. Heather shares why restrictive diets often backfire, explaining how chronic energy deficits and restrictive eating can disrupt gut health and lead to symptoms like bloating, constipation, and mineral deficiencies.
We discuss how women in midlife, dealing with hormonal shifts and stress, can support their gut with practical changes that don't rely on elimination diets. Dr. Heather also explains how minerals are essential for a healthy gut and why stress can make us burn through these minerals faster, impacting everything from digestion to sleep.
Listen to this episode to learn practical strategies to support your gut health, avoid common pitfalls, and make lasting changes that nurture your body from the inside out. And for anyone feeling that they've "tried all the things," Dr. Heather’s perspective may be just what you need to try next!
If you're experiencing bloating, feeling tired despite a “normal” lab report, or have done the rounds with elimination diets, Dr. Heather’s insights will resonate deeply. She also discusses the role of functional testing, like stool and mineral testing, and why they can offer insights that standard lab tests miss.

“You have a unique and special way.”
The most significant thing that changed in my work with you was that my all consuming, soul-killing obsession with food was relieved through gentle healing and integration. I knew in my heart that you really cared about me and had my best interests at heart which helped me to re-connect with my own ability to love and support myself. When that part felt back in balance I think the food piece also re-balanced itself. Another incredible gift you offer is a super well resourced tool box! There was also plenty of deep diving into core wounding and reviewing old stories, all of which you skillfully guided me though and helped me to integrate in order to heal.
Thank you so much for everything.

“It seems so simple now!”
Kim taught me to listen to my body. I now can slow down and find out what I really need…which is not always food. I also learned it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. I struggled with dieting and then overeating. I have found a happy place where I can just be. She also taught me so much about food, reading labels and how good real food can be. Thank you.

“I felt like I could tell her anything and she would not judge me.”
My reason for hiring Kim is different as I already knew how to eat healthy and was already in great shape. I wanted to learn more about digestion and overall gut health which is super important for all aspects of life. She is amazing! Very easy to talk too and she made me feel very comfortable and I felt like I could tell her anything and she would not judge me. She is very nice and definitely very knowledgeable! She was able to help me in every way I needed and then some! Anyone who needs any form of help that she offers because she is top notch and well worth the money and time!Could not be happier with the decision I made to hire her as my coach!

“Kim is much more than a health coach. She is a tireless champion of holistic healing for those eager to initiate lasting transformation of their lives.”
I feel an enthusiasm for embracing routines and habits that encompass not only my body, but spirit and mind. Kim is a beautiful, genuine person who is intuitive and kind.
Her support and positive perspective always turn around my attitude and help me see the favorable aspect to decisions I’ve made in a non-judgemental way.
Access to this type of reassurance is perpetual and brings peace of mind. Kim is much more than a health coach. She is a tireless champion of holistic healing for those eager to initiate lasting transformation of their lives. Kim has been instrumental in bringing me home to my truest self.
